Dear G. L.!

I sent a letter long ago to the secretary of the cantonal police, but the money has still not arrived. Evidently, without a personal reminder there will be no results. This happened to us once in Berne: until we personally extracted results from the secretary, everything was useless. Please go to him.

If you cannot, write back immediately even if only 2 words on a postcard, because I cannot wait any longer—it is already December.

And as for *Prosveshchenie*, you sent me two issues (1914 no. 4 and 5), but the third one is still missing!! (1914 no. 6, the conclusion of the article on self-determination*). And yet you have it! I myself took it from you. Please send it!

Best greetings to you and your whole family.

Your Lenin
